Mind Flayer not respawning

    Right, so I'm in the Mind Flayer caverns in the underdark and I've basically wiped out all the enemies except for the last room where the Elder Brain is held. You need to control a Mind Flayer to get this door open and iirc, they constantly respawn in the room with the red vats.

    Only this time it stays empty. I've tried reloading and even sleeping then checking, but no Mind Flayer.

    Anyone know how to deal with this? I'm in a bit of a bind because I couldn't even say "forget it" and leave because I can't exit the city while the Elder Brain is alive.

    Oh, just in case it's relevant, I have ascension, the longer road and the item upgrade mod installed.

    I know it may cost you a pair of rep points (and as a person who often plays good parties I tend to hang on to those). But you could just turn into the slayer via main character and push open the door.

    I like to make use of a dominated/controlled mindflayer myself but if you are stuck this may provide a way out. Besides, you may have subquests left undone that you could use to get your reputation points back up.

    I totally forgot about your slayer form being able to open the door. Just went ahead and did as you suggested. Thanks!
